Howdy...again...

Howdy...again...

Been awhile since I have been on, but have a 3 yr old, and dont have much time....

Anyhoo, I just picked up a nice matching numbered 1932 Tula 91/30 at the gun show last weekend. Bore looks good, and am hoping to get it out to shoot. I traded off my 1942 Izzy for a .223, but otherwise, haven't seen much Mosin action in awhile.

I did miss on a nice Dragoon at the same gun show I got my 32. Sucks being tied to the tables at the start of the show sometimes... The guy paid 175 for it.Not a lot of other Mosins at the shows lately. There were a total of 4 at the show I was at, and the one I bought came in on Sunday. Thanks, RipT

I was at a gun show in Houston a few weeks ago. Not many milsurps of any type (discounting M1 Garands- there were actually quite a few of them) but Mosins were more numerous than about all the other types together. Saw a nice type 53 that caught my attention but, I wasn't buying this trip (regrettably).

If ye
love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better
than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask
not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which
feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget
that you were our countrymen.Sam

Welcome back! I have a 4 year old & not collecting much these days. The few shows I have been to large and small have many fewer MNs than they used to, and around here, that means sometimes no MNs at shows!
